DETROIT, MICHIGAN, A CORPORATION 0F DELAWARE Moron. MOUNTING Application led I 'ebruary 26, 1930. Serial No. 431,5692

This invention relates to a mounting and more particularly to a mounting between an internal `combustion engine and the chassis frame of an automobile.

An object of the invention is to provide a thin, liat resilient member adapted to be secured between a supporting member and a member to be supported.

Another object ofthe invention is to provide attaching means on relatively movable members of the mounting which are in axial alignment with each other and to space these attaching means a distance corresponding to the thickness of the mounting.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will be more apparent from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which:

Fig. 1 is an end view of an internal combustion engine supported between the side frames of an automobile chassis, the side frame members being shown in section.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view through the frame member and mounting shown on a larger scale.

Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Figs. 2.

Referring to the drawing, I have shown a conventional engine 10 having laterally extending arms 12 to each of which is secured a U-shaped stamping 14 by bolts 16. The outer ends of the side flanges 18 of the Uf shaped member 14 are bent outwardly at right angles to the flanges 18, forming flanges 20, to which is secured the mountlng.

The mounting is provided with `a platelike member 22 having flanges 24 in which are openings for the reception of bolts 26 which securetheplate like member 22 to the chassis frame 28. The plate like member 22 A is provided with inwardly extending flanges 30 and the llanges are provided with projections 32. A plate like member 34 is provided with openings to receive the projections 32 and the ends of the projections are peened over, as at 36, to hold the plate like member 34 on the ends of the flanges 30, spaced from the plate like member 22. It will be noted that the plate like members 22 and 34 are spaced apart and that theseA two plates together with the flanges 30 form a hollow rectangular member which is secured to the frame 28. j i

Between the spaced members 34 and 22 I have provided a resilient material 38, such as rubber, having -its contacting faces vulcanized to the adjacent faces of the plate like members 22 and 34.

A U-shaped member 40 has its intermediate portion embedded in the resilientmaterial 38 and the side Hang/es 42 of the U-shaped member 40 extend inwardly toward the engine arm. The outer ends of the flanges 42 are bent outwardly at right anglesthereto, forming flanges 44 for engagement with the flanges 20. As shown on the drawing, the

flanges 20 and 44 are secured together by' rivets, or any suitable securing means, which extend through aligned openings in the flanges 20 and 44. The openings in the flanges 20 and 44 lare also in axial alignment with the openings in the flanges 24. The flanges 44 extend approximately in the same plane as the plate like member 34.

It will be apparent that I have provided a comparatively thinrectangular member, having an intermediate member embraced by the rectangular member and by the resilient material, between the opposite faces of the rectangular member with securing means for the intermediate member and the rectangular portion in axial alignment and spaced apart approximately the thickness of the entire mounting.

Various changes, including the size, shape and arrangement of parts, may be made without departing from the spirit of my inventlon and it is my intention to cover by my claims such changes as may be reasonably included within the scope thereof.

` I claim:

1. A mounting of the class described comprising, a rectangular member having lateral projections provided with openings, an intermediate member embraced by the rectangular member having lateral projections provided with openings and rubber in the rectangular member emb racing the intermediate member, the openings in one of the members being in axial alignment with the openings in the other member.

2. A mounting of the class described comprising, a rectangular member having lateral pro lections provided with openings, an interme iate member embraced by the rectangular member having lateral prolections provided with openings, -and rubber in the rectangular member embracing the intermediate member, the lateral projections of the rectangular member being in the plane of one side `of the rectangular member and the lateral projections of the intermediate member being in the plane of the opposite side of the rectangular member.

3. A mounting of the class described com prising, a U-shaped member having a base portion and side ange portions outwardly extending flanges on sald side flanges provided with openings, a rectangular member embracing the base portion of said U- haped member, outwardly rojecting anges on said rectangular mem r having o mugs in alignment with the openings in t e anges on the side flanges base portion of said U-shaped member and a face of the rectangular member uniting the U-shaped member and the rectangular mem-l ber together.
